The other obvious step is that you've changed three things, so start
isolation testing.
- Test Postgres Plus Advanced Server 8.4, which you knew worked, on your
new file system and OS.
- Test PP9.1 on your new OS but with ext3, which you knew worked
- Test PP9.1 on your new OS but with ext4, which should work if ext3 did
- Test PP9.1 on a copy of your *old* OS with the old file system setup.
- Test mainline PostgreSQL 9.1 on your new setup to see if it's PP specific.
Since each test sounds moderately time consuming, you'll probably need
to find a way to automate. I'd first see if I could reproduce the
problem when running PgBench against the same setup that's currently
failing, and if that reproduces the fault you can use PgBench with the
other tests.
